Imagine a design exhibit design that’s completely recyclable. Transpose that vision to a set of artfully-arranged cardboard structures framing a large warehouse space, in a sunwashed wharf in glimmering Copenhagen. And that’d be ShowHow, one of the most genuinely sustainable of the many exhibits on display for Copenhagen Design Week.
Once of the highlights from the show was mischer’traxler’s Idea of a Tree, a solar-powered manufacturing device that uses the sun’s energy to create, shape and color chairs and stools made out of layers of fiber. The idea is to manufacture within natural cycles, not outside of them; the device is powered by the sun and the thickness of the fiber layers and intensity of the colours it creates is determined by the level of sunshine. (On cloudy days, the device will produce thinner, darker products.)
